My oldest son - Eeyore...One of those that everything comes so easy to...
High self esteem and just an all around good guy...
We received a letter in the mail that I opened last night when I finally got home...
It was from the Who's Who Registry of Academic Excellence - High School Version and he was nominated...
We will know in 2 weeks if he makes it in the book....
I didn't know this was a big deal to be nominated much less make it in the book...
Remember I hated school so I never received any awards like this...
I texted my sister and she explained it to me how about 90% of the kids who are nominated are seniors in High School and how proud I should be, good for him, our brother was in the same book eons ago during his senior year etc....
So I grasped the meaning that it was a good thing and I was proud as hell that he was even nominated....
I showed him and hubby the letter this morning...
Of course he doesn't give a rats ass about it since to him it isn't cool....
I explained to him how huge this was and I still don't think he cares....
We let him know that even if he doesn't make the book, we are so very proud of him...
After he left for school, we both said that there is a very slim chance of him getting in the book since it is based from all over the US however we were doing something right since he was nominated...
Why is there a slim chance he will get in???
He is in 7th grade...Now you see why we are so very proud of him ♥
I just wanted to share with my BFs'!! Hope you are all having a wonderful Good Friday and we will talk again shortly :o)
WOOHOO That's AWESOME! and being in the 7th grade to boot! It doesn't matter if he "gets it" now. Over time, as he gets older he'll look back and realize wow. Right now he is too busy trying to be "cool"-- isnt that the age? Congratulations!!! :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is awesome! Give him a big hug from me!
ReplyDeleteThat's great...correction its frikin awesome he's only in 7th grade and already being nominated for such a prestigious thing
ReplyDeleteVery very proud of him! :) Super!!! I love, love proud mom moments like that...
ReplyDeleteWay to go!
That's really cool! I was shocked when you said 7th grade! My hubs was in the Who's Who business book a few years ago! He's smart like that.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to him he will make the book and keep the info
ReplyDeletehe can use it on college applications
it is big about buying the book which is cool but not necessary
also you can get it in your local paper. keep the letter and all
That is SOOOOO awesome!!!
